Australia and Cruise

The plan for the trip is as follows:

We will leave for Sydney on April 4 via Los Angeles on Continental/Qantas and arrive in Sydney on April 6 at 6:00 AM which is equal to  April 5, 4:00PM in New York. The difference in dates is due to the International Date line. All dates as shown will be according to the date in the location we happen to be in. The dates up until the first April 25th are one day ahead of the USA because of the International Date Line. I am as confused as you are..

It's going to be tough leaving these guys behind. There are 8 others also.
